What is the meaning of the name ilanna ?

The baby name ilanna is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ee-LAH-nah,ih-LAH-nah.

ilanna is Hebrew in Origin.

Ilanna is a modern feminine name that most often expands the Hebrew Ilana (from ilan, “tree”), while also echoing Iliana/Ileana - Romance forms ultimately from Greek Helene, “torch, light” - and the Gaelic-influenced Alanna, used as a term of endearment (“dear child”). The double‑n spelling likely developed by analogy with Alanna and other -anna names, giving the name a gentle, lyrical cadence. Usage is rare but recognizable in contemporary English-speaking countries, with sporadic appearance from the late 20th century onward.

Because it sits at the crossroads of several traditions, meanings associated with Ilanna include “tree” (growth, rootedness), “light” (brightness, radiance), and “beloved child.” Related forms and near-variants include Ilana, Iliana, Ileana, Eliana, Elena, Elana, Alanna, and Alana; short forms include Ila, Illy, Lani, Lana, and Ana. The lowercase stylization ilanna sometimes appears in modern records and design-forward contexts, but the standard capitalization is Ilanna.
